Louie &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Louie comes from a friend animal rescuer who, due to family reasons following a separation, must shrink her sanctuary for various homeless animals. Reluctantly, she must now part ways with a few of her dogs, but they can still stay on-site until they find a new home. Louie is an alert, active, and interested companion. He needs, typical for his breed, appropriate and safe handling as well as mental stimulation in everyday life. He is people-oriented, friendly, and shows no prey drive. Louie knows no cats but gets along well with fellow animals. Despite this, he would be a prince in any household and would ideally find his new home with dog-experienced and loving people as a single dog. Louie is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be rehomed for an adoption fee of CHF 650.–.

DE·Show original

Louie stammt von einer befreundeten Tierschützerin, die aus familiären Gründen nach einer Trennung ihren Gnadenhof für verschiedene heimatlose Tiere verkleinern muss. Schweren Herzens muss sie sich nun von ein paar ihrer Hunde trennen, sie dürfen aber noch vor Ort bleiben, bis sie ein neues Zuhause gefunden haben. Louie ist ein aufgeweckter, aktiver und interessierter Weggefährte. Er braucht, typisch für seine Rasse, artgerechte und sichere Führung sowie Beschäftigung im Alltag. Er ist menschenbezogen, freundlich und zeigt keinen Jagdtrieb. Katzen kennt er nicht, versteht sich aber mit Artgenossen. Trotzdem ist er gerne der Prinz im Haushalt und am idealsten findet er bei hundeerfahrenen und lieben Menschen als Einzelhund sein neues Zuhause. Louie ist geimpft, gechippt, und wird gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 650.– vermittelt. Im Rahmen einer Fremdplatzierung geschieht die

About Louie &#8211

What life with Louie &#8211 looks like

Louie &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Louie &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Louie &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzbund Basel Regional handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louie &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Louie &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Louie &#8211 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Louie &#8211 isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louie &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
